Benefits & Rulings:
➊ "Where are your scholars?" — This means that if you have doubts, then ask the senior companions (may Allah be pleased with them), they too will support what I’m saying. Or it could mean: why don’t your scholars narrate these Hadiths to you?
➋ The meaning of being dominant is either that they (people of truth) will overpower the misguided sects through the strength of evidence and arguments, or it means that eventually, even apparent dominance will be granted to the people of truth.
➌ The way of the righteous scholars is that they preach what is correct and criticize wrong actions and false beliefs. In doing so, they do not consider whether their supporters are few or many, or what positions of power their opponents hold. The lives of great scholars like Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on them) are the best examples of this.
